First Look

On April 1 we opened up the new hive for the first time. The bees seem to be doing well. The queen was out and laying eggs. We added a feeding tray into the hive. We filled it with sugar water to be sure the bees had plenty to eat while they are getting used to the new area.





This was the first time I had been in the hive area with the bees flying around. It was nerve racking. We smoked the bees which is supposed to calm them down. They are still every where. Landing on you. Its wild.

I asked Don D if bees could smell fear?

He said, "oh definitely."
